The work done by grand Turismo here and Lincoln Cooper on www.dinoitalia.com is very important because it goes to clarify the color of the 2000cc and 2400cc versions of the Fiat Dino Coupe', indicated incorrectly on the book by Mike Morris

Is it possible that the car pictures for 435 and 448 have been switched? On the paint-code card the 435 Blu Medio looks darker than the 448 color - yet on the car pictures the examples are the other way around. My car is 448 Blu Medio Metallizato but looks far more like the 435 picture.

Thanks for the new picture. That does indeed look like the colour of my car - therefore I think I am looking for 448.

So I've been trying to buy this paintcode to do some touch-up work - I spoke with the company I usually use (Tower Paints) and they found a Lechler paintcode called Azzurro Blu Metalizzato (but no associated number) - so I bought a can - but this paint is much, much darker than my car. I guess I shouldn't have bought anything without the 448 code.

Anyway, my real question is - does anybody know where you can buy 448 azzurro blu met in small quantities? And if not small quantities, has anybody successfully bought it in large quantities successfully?

Hi Richard,on the market today isn't possible buy the 448 code because the old code Fiat used in the 70 years it is no longuer produced now. If you try to buy using only the code you will have always be differences. The only thing in these cases is take a blue base and with a professional paints correct the color until you reach the right tone (you must take a piece of your dino as a sample, I always use the rear bonnet or the door fuel). Good luck,Antonio
